Red caviar

Red caviar, distinguished by its vibrant reddish hue, is derived from the roe of salmonid fish. This differentiates it from black caviar, which originates from sturgeon roe. Red caviar is a favored component in both Russian and Japanese cuisine. In Japan, it is referred to as "ikura" a term borrowed from the Russian word "икра (ikra)" meaning caviar or fish roe. Its vivid color and unique flavor make red caviar a treasured delicacy in many culinary traditions.
